- Abstract
While questions of normativity frequently feature in the IR discourse, the fundamental relationship between science and (practical) politics is curiously absent. This study starts with existing models of »policy relevance«. Any model classification, though, should not rest within its own scope of argumentation but should rather, for the sake of comparison, uncover its meta-theoretical assumptions. To this end, a positivist notion of a >recommendation of action< serves as a referent for the various schools of thought in IR to be discussed. One result indicates that the discourse should move from a dichotomous understanding - positivism vs. post-positivism - to a meta-theoretical trichotomy. Furthermore, the study recommends a more nuanced position regarding policy relevance. Depending on the meta-theoretical position chosen, ideal-types of policy relevance can indeed differ greatly.
